Pendant to P82. Jean Pellicorne, a wealthy Amsterdam merchant, married Susanna van Collen in 1626, and their children, Anna and Caspar, were born in December 1626 and June 1628 respectively. Anna Pellicorne is shown receiving money from her mother in anticipation of the dowry she will later be given by her parents on her marriage. Her social role is further defined by the basket of grapes, implying her future fecundity within marriage. The pictures relate stylistically to Rembrandt’s early Amsterdam portraits, especially to the 'Portrait of a Man', dated 1632, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The signature, omitting the ‘d’, is characteristic of Rembrandt’s signatures of 1633.
